Our recent Long Lunch Club at one of our major sponsors, The Manningham Club was an outstanding success. One hundred five guests thoroughly enjoyed listening to AFL legend John Kennedy senior as he spoke about his early days at Hawthorn and how their lack of success moulded and shaped his myopic determination to lift the Hawks of the bottom of the ladder and to gain respect.

We also had the privilege of John Connelan who is the President of the Old Xavs Association do a 20 minute stand up comedy routine which brought the house down and then John conducted the Irish auction which raised over $4,000. We have been extremely fortunate over the past 2 years that John has offered his services (gratis) and we are extremely grateful.

Another great day and the club raised in excess of $6,000. Many thanks to all the OT supporters who attended.
